Puuurrrrfect Day

Hello bloggers today's card has a feline theme.

The card began as a white hammered DL card blank.  To the front I adhered some textured paper.  Next I added a strip of circle patterned paper as a strip down the left hand side.  Next using some pale blue textured paper I stamped the main cat image using  'paw prints' stamp set by Ailie Busby and black soot distress ink.  I then sent around and stamped 'meow' all over the rest of the cardstock.    The topper was then adhered to the card.  Finally I stamped my sentiment using the same stamp set and black soot distress ink.  I then inked the edges using broken china distress ink and used a circle punch to cut out the sentiment.  This was adhered to the  top left of the card.

With Love Dog Card

Hello bloggers today we have a card for all, the dog lover’s out there.

This card began as an A4 sheet of pearlescent cardstock that I cut down and scored to make a card approx 5 3/4” square.    First I cut down two strips of striped paper and glued them across the centre of the card to make a cross.  Next I stamped the dog images and sentiment onto cream cardstock using black soot distress ink and ‘paw prints’ stamp set.  These were then die cut using Spellbinders ‘scallop labels one’ die set.  Each one was then inked around the edge using a ProMarker.  From some paw print card stock I die cut five mats using the next size up die.  These were adhered to the card at each corner and one in the centre.  The stamped images were then added to the paw print mats on each corner.  In the centre mat I added the sentiment.   To the gaps in between the mats I added some more dog images without mats, again the edges have been inked with a ProMarker.  Finally a bow was tied from some blue ribbon and adhered to the top of the sentiment mat.

You're the cat's whiskers

Hello bloggers today's card was created using some 'pawprint' stamps I got free with this months Papercraft Inspirations magazine.

This card began as a piece of A4 gold pearlescent cardstock, that I cut down and scored in half to make a 4x4 card blank.  Onto white cardstock I randomly stamped 'meow' using vintage photo distress ink and paw print stamp set.  Next from some copper textured holographic mirror board I die cut my topper mat using Spellbinder 'labels sixteen' die set.  I then stamped my topper using the same stamp set using vintage photo distress ink.  I then die cut it using Spellbinders 'labels sixteen' die, whilst still in the die I inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.  To the cat I added some whiskers using some waxed cotton and cosmic shimmer dries clear glue.  The topper and mat were layered up and adhered to the card blank.  Finally the sentiment was computer generated and printed out.  It was then die cut using Spellbinder 'back to basics tags' die.  I also die cut a mat for the sentiment using the same die and the copper textures mirror board.  These were then layered up and adhered to the card blank.
